With the passage of the federal reconciliation bill (H.R. 1) and the new California state budget, the eligibility rules for vital programs like CalFresh, tax credits, and others will change significantly in the coming years.

During this training, we will provide a detailed overview of the expected impacts of these policy changes - particularly for different immigrant communities in CA. We will also discuss how community-based organizations (CBOs), service providers, government agencies, and Community Health Workers, Promotoras, Representatives, and other advocates can prepare and adapt to best support the communities we serve.

TOPICS WE WILL COVER:

• Restriction of immigrant eligibility for federally funded CalFresh/SNAP

• Changes to federal tax credit eligibility for individuals with an Individual

• Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)

• Up-to-date information about intrusions into the privacy of public benefits recipients

• Up-to-date information about the state of the public charge regulation, and other federal actions that may impact immigrant communities

• Other actions impacting access to public benefits and services
